Sustainable Polymeric & Composite Materials

The Sustainable Polymeric & Composite Materials (SUSMAT) research unit aims at the production of new environmentally friendly functional polymers and composites, studying the physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical behavior of the related materials by a combined approach of instrumented experimental testing and adequate numerical modelling.

research challenges

The design and durability of high performance and multi-functional polymer-based composites

Interface engineering towards better performance and durability

Bio-based and sustainable polymers and composites

The activities include research and development concerning:

The design and production of multifunctional composites

Bio-based polymers and composites

Durability of composites

Adhesion and compatibilization of fibres/matrix

Complex architectures at interfaces
